PLAIN fries cooked in a dedicated fryer are usually OK unless handled by someone who has previously handled a bun. SEASONED fries are usually NOT OK.

Most mayonnaise is OK until someone sticks the knife back into the jar while making a sandwich. You need your own jar or at least one of those upside down squeeze bottles.

McDonald's fries may or may not be safe. These are very controversial. We do not eat them because they contain not only wheat but dairy and we are allergic.

Also, fries are not usually baked in restaurants. They are fried. Other things that might be fried in that oil could cause contamination. As the other poster stated, seasoned fries are usually not gluten-free. I have also seen some fries that are battered. Beer battered fries are becoming more popular here. They would not be gluten-free either.

Chick Fil A fries are safe - just make sure you ask the manager to verify that only the fries were cooked in the oil. I asked at the Chick Fil A that I go to and the are safe.... the manager and owner made me feel very confident that nothing else touches the oil.

Watch out for chick fil A. They fry their fries in peanut oil. Luckily I looked them up online before going there.

If you're okay with peanuts, then pig out! They look good.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
